Russia bombs Ukrainian children's hospital as Vance says war will end 'eventually'

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has described Russia as the world's largest "terrorist organisation" after a Ukrainian children's hospital was reportedly bombed by its forces on Wednesday morning, local time.

In a post on X, the Ukrainian president accused Russia of conducting a "deliberate" attack against children and medical personnel based at the facility in the city of Kherson.

He said the hospital, which was housing about 100 people at the time of the strike, sustained heavy damage and both children and staff were injured, the youngest of which was eight years old.

"Russia is now the largest terrorist organisation in the world, which is not only dragging out its terrorist war but also trying to do everything possible to ensure that no opportunity to end the war succeeds," Mr Zelenskyy wrote.
